Theodore Thomas

Theodore Thomas (October 11, 1835–January 4, 1905) was a German-American musician and conductor. He is considered the first renowned American orchestral conductor. He was born in Hanover, Germany, to a violinist father, who contributed to his musical education. By age 6 he was playing the violin in concerts. In 1845 his family emigrated to the United States, but they suffered from financial hardships. In 1854 he joined New York Philharmonic, and began tours with famous musicians as a violinist. By 1861 he organized his own orchestra that played at Irving Hall. Later he founded the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He died in Chicago, Illinois.
